Sometimes
you think you've gotten over a person, but when you see him smile you suddenly
realize you're just pretending you're over him to ease the pain of knowing
that he will never be yours.

Look in my eyes and you will find me, but look in my heart and you will find
you.

This is an interesting and thought provoking quote by the late Cavett Robert.
It addresses 'neediness': "Most people are walking around, umbilical cord
in hand, looking for a new place to plug it in."

If you find yourself in love with a person who does not love you, be gentle
with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose to
rest in the other person's heart.

You know you love someone when you want them to be happy even if their happiness
means that you're not part of it.

I swore to myself it wouldn't happen again. I vowed to myself that this was
the end. The end of this longing, this yearning so strong... I said I was
over you, but oh I was so wrong.

Someone should sue Disney for planting the ideas in little kids heads that
every girl has a prince and everything ends up happily ever after.

How do I say goodbye to someone I never really had? Why do my tears fall
so endlessly for someone who was never really mine? Why is it I miss someone
I was never really with? And why do I love someone whose love was never really
mine?

A
great love? It's when you shed tears for him but still you care for him.
It's when he ignored you but you still long for him. It's when he starts
loving another, and yet you manage a smile and find the courage to say "I'm
happy for you."

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the
life that is waiting for us. (Joseph Campbell)

Why did I have to fall for you when you just keep falling for her?

We don't stop loving someone, we simply learn to live without them.

Missing you isn't the hard part, knowing I once had you is what breaks my
heart.

And there you are..holding her hand..and I'm lost..trying to understand...

"My biggest advice for anyone dealing with the heartbreak of an unwanted
breakup is to look very carefully at the person who broke up with you and
look very carefully at yourself. If you are radically honest, you will see
a myriad of ways that you asked for the breakup to happen as well as the
ways that you deserve something better in relation to an other" ~Moongirl,
